Watering:
If the soil is dry to the touch, it is time to water.
Fertilizer:
Fertilize with a granular fertilizer once in spring, summer, and fall.
Re-potting:
For the first three growing seasons, report a young croton every year in the spring or early summer. After that, only repot when you notice roots growing out of the drainage holes or at the soil level.
Temperature:
Croton plants do best in temperatures of 26.6 degrees Celsius or lower, as they do not thrive in high temperatures.
